That’s great! I couldn’t find any mention of it on support.apple.com or on the iOS 18.1 details page.

There’s nothing listed on the Apple Support site about an automatic restart feature when there are no cellular networks nearby. I’m guessing they left the phone connected to a charger long enough to install a previously downloaded update.

When automatic updates are enabled, iPhone will coalesce the software update download with other download activity. The package will remain downloaded and install once the iPhone is connected to power, and remains powered on and locked for an extended period of time. The install initiates a reboot.

These are the states that are attempting to, or already have, put abortion rights on the ballot in November for state constitutional enshrinement. As stated above, this will only matter if Biden wins in the fall.

It’s not a bad idea. He’s “scandal” won’t mean shit next to Trump’s. I’d still like to see some polls of his potential before we start calling for Biden to step down.

Czech Republic. My bad. Old brain.

There’s also never a suggestion of a candidate that can pull off a win with a four month campaign in any of the articles calling for Biden to step down. It’s not constructive criticism. Without a proposed solution, it’s just condemnation.

The “someone else” is the part I’m more concerned about than his stepping down. Who would ensure a win with a four month campaign?

With all these calls for him to drop out, there would need to be a viable replacement that could ensure a win with a four month campaign. I’m concerned that it’s just as risky to change the horse this close to the race.

Well said. The US should learn from Czechoslovakia’s the Czech Republic’s emphasis on education.

The Czech education system is based on a long tradition beginning in 1774, when compulsory school attendance was instituted. The current literacy rate in the country is above 99%.

They are very hurricane resistant designs for traditional construction. The buildings are mostly cinder block, with a wide footprint, and a low pitch roof. The roofs get torn off when there’s a low pressure pocket above the building. Domes or underground dwellings would be ideal, but the cost is far greater than traditional construction.

Their bigger problems are food and communication.

”There is literally no vegetation left anywhere on the island of Carriacou; the mangroves are totally destroyed, the boats and the marinas significantly damaged," he said. “There is almost complete destruction of the electrical grid system in Carriacou. The entire communication system is completely destroyed.”

Good. That shit is cringeworthy and internationally embarrassing.

Us? We were granted no such immunity.

I’ve had my eye on Buttigieg for years now. He’d be an incredible President. I was hoping his role as Secretary of Transportation would be a springboard into the next primary. I think it’s optically been the opposite.

Watch how fast the media misrepresents all of the train derailments, shipping incidents, and Boeing scandals on his “weak leadership” the second he throws his hat in the ring.

They could’ve gone to high school together. Maybe his campaign should just spray paint him orange and yellow too.

I’m guessing you don’t live in a city. My opinions are to the left of most of my Democratic friends. The amount of times I’ve defended Biden’s tuition reimbursement against “I had to pay, so why don’t they?” claims is bonkers. Yes, you paid against a subsidized or 2% fixed-rate simple interest loan, not a predatory 5%+ variable-rate compound…

You’re both right. Mostly factual, with medium credibility.

Historically, the words marse and massa were used in writing to represent spoken alterations of the word master that were associated especially with the speech of enslaved African Americans. In modern contexts, the word massa is considered offensive, especially when used by a person who is not Black to imitate stereotypes of African American English or to make reference to slavery. The use of marse is usually limited to historical contexts and may be considered offensive in modern ones.

SCOTUS has nearly unfettered authority as long as Congress remains dysfunctional in keeping them in check. They’re just passing the power along.
